Classical dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) is one of the cornerstones of modern
statistical mechanics. It is an extension of the highly successful method of classical density …

The rich and diverse dynamics of particle-based systems ultimately originates from the
coupling of their degrees of freedom via internal interactions. To arrive at a tractable …

Complex (dusty) plasmas are composed of a weakly ionized gas and charged microparticles
and represent the plasma state of soft matter. Complex plasmas have several remarkable …

One characteristic feature of soft matter systems is their strong response to external stimuli.
As a consequence they are comparatively easily driven out of their ground state and out of …

This extensive review was written for the``Encyclopedia of Complexity and System
Science''(Springer, 2008) and addresses a broad audience ranging from engineers to …

Laning is a paradigmatic example of spontaneous organization in active two-component
flows that has been observed in diverse contexts, including pedestrian traffic, driven colloids …

We study the effect of spatial heterogeneity on the collective motion of self-propelled
particles (SPPs). The heterogeneity is modeled as a random distribution of either static or …

We reexamine results obtained with the recently proposed density functional theory
framework based on forces (force-DFT)[SM Tschopp, Phys. Rev. E 106, 014115 (2022) 2470 …

We propose a numerical method to simulate electrohydrodynamic phenomena in charged
colloidal dispersions. This method enables us to compute the time evolutions of colloidal …

In this contribution, we review the state of the art of the interplay between empirical and
theoretical studies of pedestrian dynamics. First, we introduce the main physical quantities …
